Ok, so here I’ve been covering what you need to avoid to mitigate the risks to you and privacy and personal information if you’re going to use a web cam and SKYPE when you’re initially connecting with those prospective dates you’ve met at the internet dating sites. I’ve warned you about jeopardizing your security with web cams. I’ve also advised about when not to use SKYPE to pre screen your date. So when is it a good idea to use SKYPE?
Smart Skype Dating Tip #1: It’s Part of Your Social Culture
First of all, many of the Millennials use SKYPE like they text. It’s already happening. I won’t be an idiot and try and tell you not to when you already are. It’s part of who you are like breathing and eating by now.
However, do please just mitigate your personal risk by creating a SKYPE profile with a nickname and not your real legal name.
Then for the rest of us.
Smart Skype Dating Tip #2: You Live Aways Apart
When you live more than 2 hours away from each other. You might live in the same geographic region but more than a few hundred miles away from each other. You might live in separate states. You might live across the country from each other.
When you live quite aways from each other, not just a few hours, really, it is perfectly acceptable to use SKYPE to chat and converse with each other before you meet. However, think of it as light conversation. Try as best as you can not to say too much to develop too strong an emotional attachment just over SKYPE before you have actually met.
Smart Skype Dating Tip #3: You Live in Separate Countries
This is definitely the time when you’ll want to SKYPE date before meeting for offline dating meeting. You’ll want to converse at the level of like about a first date or so. You are actually doing some pre screening now to see if you two want to go to the commitment level of having flying to meet each other in person.
Happy Dating and Relationships,

May 3, 2011 at 12:01 PMI have used skype so much for the last few years! I think at some point it was even more important than facebook or email!
Great tips to use it well!
Kevin Bettencourt says
May 3, 2011 at 1:52 PMI can definitely understand why SKYPE would be a useful tool when keeping in touch with those you already know. What I can’t really understand is why someone would try to start a romantic relationship with someone who lives so far away they may never meet.

May 3, 2011 at 4:17 PMOkay, so Skype does have some up side to it. I notice you mentioned about not to develop a strong emotional attachment before meeting – is this a common or a “likely to happen” scenario with online dating?
Best, Neil
